At the risk of repeating myself, THAT is exactly what primaries are for!!

Personally I'm just as sick and tired of RINOS aiding and abeting the socialists as I am the socialists themselves!

If a so-called Republican thinks someone with a 47 ranking in a guaranteed red state is a good bet then they are no more a Republican than the candidate with the 47 ranking - in fact I would say they have more in common with Obama.

If the state is a lock for Republicans - which the article states is the case - there is only one other practical consideration regarding replacing Sen. Alexander.

How senior is he and what committees is he on?

A two term senator has some seniority and a power base. Replacing him will lose that seniority. If he's on some BS committee, it's well worth getting a more conservative senator into the seat. If he is on one of the more influential committees, it might be worth keeping him around, regardless of his squish, since the chances of his replacement being on the same committee is negligible.

Don't know enough about the actual race. Just know tactics.

With all due respect EC I don't give a crap what flipping committees he is on.. it's a reliably red state and the Democrats are about as organized there as Republicans in Calif.. as in NOT .. and Alexander is a better Democrat than Republican... I care in these reliably red states that the produce a reliable conservative. Frankly we don't tell you who the UK should have in charge.

No offense taken! If it's reliably red then yes, it is a proper target for getting a more conservative senator in. The seniority/ committee thing is just a parameter to be considered.

Though - if you think the USA does not have a massive say in who becomes PM here, or even certain borough MP's or mayors, you really have not been following the advertising dollars closely enough. Without American unions funneling money to the Labour party, we'd have a solid Conservative government, rather than this beast of a coalition. It got blatant enough to be commented on with varying degrees of fury.

Soros has a particular place in my soul. Thanks to him breaking the Bank of England on Black Thursday for his own amusement and enrichment, I was dumped out of a job on 12 hours notice, with 4 kids, a wife who couldn't work at the time and the grand total of 23 quid in the bank to feed us. If he rots in hell, as he should, I want to go to hell too. Just to be able to hurt him for all eternity for what he did to my family. Sure, there'll be a queue. I am patient.

I had no idea about Gerard. Fascinating read, thank you!

Too bad you are unable to watch Glenn Beck.. his viewers learned all this back when he was still at Fox... note the connection Gerard has to Wisconsin - this is one reason they fought so hard to stop the Republicans from their foothold there in 2010.

But you now see this is not the USA labor unions - these nefarious characters make Hoffa look like a lightweight - all of this came from outside the USA and we have been attacked same as everyone else they go after with their leftist puppets.

And this is why people in the GOP, like Lamar Alexander, have to go if this country is to be saved from the leftists -- a leftist is a leftist no matter what party he claims affiliation to.

You know - I always rolled my eyes when someone would raise the specter of the New World Order. I mean, it seemed so ridiculous, on the face of it. You can't get three people to agree on burgers or tacos, never mind running the world.

Reckon maybe I were wrong on that.

I'll take a look at Beck again - promise. Find a stream or something. You convinced me of that, at the least! :laugh:

Have you read Agenda 21? If not, you should.

He is on channel 125 every weekday morning on Sirius XM (I don't know what time that would be where you are). I highly recommend him--he's hardly the delusional nutcase that some like to portray him, and he's smart as all get out.

Certainly.

And said with more grace and elegance than I.

A very good friend of mine had information regarding Mr. Soros during the 2004 US election season.

Alexander is a disaster for Tennessee. He is amnesty loving and refuses to fight with the left. A more Conservative candidate can be elected in Tennessee and should be elected in Tennessee. I will celebrate when this RINO is gone for good.
